Dear
        C   G  Am                  F
Mr. Gepetto: I hope this finds you well
  G           C     G
I wrote this letter
           E5              F
'cause we miss you here in hell

           C                      G
And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think
     Am                      F             G
And every single smile is a thorn when you're waking up
C                        G                         Am
  You might try but you won't get by until you're crucified for all the
F           G
things you try to do

     C                   G
Well I don't care if you sink or swim
    Am                    Em
And I don't care how you hold it in
    F                 C              F                      G
As long as you don't bother me with all the things I don't bother you with

    C               G
And 9 times out of 10 you might be right
Am                     Em
  But what about that time you know you're wrong?
F                  C
 Keep singing that same song
    F                             G
And everybody smiles but they'll never get along

     XX              XX            X X   X   X  X
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:
But everybody's going down tonight

[Chorus]
C5                   G5
 We are the few that won't say nothing right
A5                     F5    G5
 We are the footsteps fading into the night
C5                G5                 A5        F5    
      G5
 Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
C5                   G5
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this
A5                          F5               G5
But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it
   C5                 G5
And I don't know where we went wrong
A5                  F5            G5
All i know now is i got to do something right

C G Am F G
C G Am

F       G
So come clean
C                          G                           Am
No one should have have to live with the things you've seen
    F             G
But you're living anyway
       C                G
Well I stop the car and put her in park
   Am                  Em
And I step outside (god I hate this part)
       F                     C                         F
When I see what I saw what I thought was a lie; it was more
                        G
Than a chore I'm just doing what I need to get-

C                   G
I don't care if you leave or stay
      Am
But we might as well split
             Em                 F
Because it's not the same as it was
                 C
When we said our last goodbye
     F                           G
And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would
C                        G               Am
  Pass away because it'd be much easier then
                   Em                      F
We could all get together and think about when
                       C                        F
We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love
                      G
And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today

     XX              XX             XX  X X  X
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:
But everybody's going down tonight

[Chorus]

C G Am F G x2

C                 G                Am   F G
This has been the best night of my life        ___X2___
    C               G
I could've lost my life
         Am              F
And I would've lost my mind
     G         C        G
But now I'm fine and I find
       Am                F           G
That this has been the best night of my-
C                 G                                       _
This has been the best night of my-                        |
    Am                               F         G           |-- X2
I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize     _|
    C              G
I could've lost my life
        Am               F
And I would've lost my mind
     G         C        G
But now I'm fine and I find
       Am               F            G
That this has been the best night of my-

[Bridge]
C          G         Am        F     G
And as the day fades no one investigates
C          G            Am        F   G
Nobody answers when she calls his name
C          G      Am            F      G
Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave
C            G           Am     F[one strum]
 I want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault

C5 G5 A5 F5 G5
Na na na...

[Bridge]

Na na na...
It's not your fault
